Let’s suppose a new strain of P1 phage has been identified thatpackages larger pieces of the E. coli chromosome. This P1 strainpackages pieces of the E. coli chromosome that are 5 minuteslong. If two genes are 0.7 minute apart along the E. coli chromosome,what would be the cotransduction frequency using a normalstrain of P1 and using the new strain of P1 that packages largerpieces? What would be the experimental advantage of using thisnew P1 strain?
If you are using a restriction enzyme that make 8 cuts in the Lambda phage DNA, how many bands (pieces) do you expect to be generated assuming each band is a unique size?
In the Hershey Chase experiment, why was the localization of radio-labeled phage of macromolecules in the cytoplasm the reason that the genetic material identity was proved.
